Description

Thermal imager connection device Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal imager accessories, and in particular to a thermal imager connecting device. Background Art

[0002] Infrared thermal imaging uses infrared radiation from the target itself. It's a passive imaging method that's less affected by weather conditions like fog, haze, and overcast skies and can operate around the clock. Thermal imagers are imaging systems that use mobile phones as detection tools. Their small size, light weight, and low power consumption make them easy to integrate into various mobile devices.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , the thermal imager connection device 100 of the first embodiment of the present application includes a clamping member 10 and a protective housing 30. The protective housing 30 is movably connected to the clamping member 10 via a connecting pin 20 (e.g., a hinged connection as shown), allowing the clamping member 10 to adjust the angle of the display clamped thereon relative to the protective housing 30, thereby achieving a suitable viewing angle for the user. The protective housing 30 is used to mount and connect external devices such as a thermal imager 70 (see Figures 4 to 6 ), thereby enabling the thermal imager and the external devices used in conjunction with the thermal imager to be installed and connected as a whole through the thermal imager connection device 100.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3. The clamping member 10 is used to clamp a mobile phone, a display screen or other smart display device with a display screen. The clamping member 10 includes an upper clamping body 11, a lower clamping body 12, a spring 13, a locking screw 14 and a first hinged lug 15. The upper clamping body 11 and the lower clamping body 12 are arranged relative to each other in the up and down directions, and the upper clamping body 11 can move in the up and down directions relative to the lower clamping body 12. The spring 13 is compressibly arranged between the upper clamping body 11 and the lower clamping body 12 so that the upper clamping body 11 can be opened relative to the lower clamping body 12 to place the clamped device such as a mobile phone, a display screen or other smart display device with a display screen. The locking screw 14 passes through the upper clamping body 11 and cooperates with the lower clamping body 12 to lock the upper clamping body 11 and the lower clamping body 12, thereby clamping the smart display device.

[0048] The upper clamping body 11 can be an integrally formed part, including an upper clamping plate 111 and a guide post 112 extending downward from the upper clamping plate 111. The lower end surface of the upper clamping plate 111 is used to abut the upper end surface of the smart display device, and the guide post 112 is used to guide the movement of the upper clamping body 11 relative to the lower clamping body 12.

[0049] The lower clamping body 12 can be an integrally formed part, including a lower splint 121 and a back plate 122 connected to the lower splint 121. The lower splint 121 is arranged relative to the upper splint 111, and is used to abut the lower end surface of the smart display device, and the back plate 122 is used to abut the back of the smart display device. The upper splint 111, the lower splint 121 and the back plate 122 abut the smart display device from three directions respectively, thereby clamping the smart display device. Soft gaskets can be provided on the surfaces of the upper splint 111, the lower splint 121 and the back plate 122 facing the smart display device, which can increase the friction on the smart display device while avoiding damage to the smart display device caused by hard contact with the smart display device.

[0050] The back plate 122 is provided with a guide hole 1221 and a threaded hole 1222 downward from the upper end surface. The guide hole 1221 corresponds to the guide column 112 and is matched with the shaft hole. The guide column 112 moves in the guide hole 1221 to guide the movement of the upper clamping body 11 and adjust the distance between the upper clamping plate 111 of the upper clamping body 11 and the lower clamping plate 121 of the lower clamping body 12 to adapt to smart display devices of different heights. The spring 13 is arranged in the guide hole 1221 to apply an upward elastic force to the guide column 112. The locking screw 14 passes through the upper clamping plate 111 and is threadedly matched with the threaded hole 1222. By rotating the locking screw 14, the height of the upper clamping plate 111 relative to the lower clamping plate 121 is locked.

[0051] Referring to Figures 4, 5, and 6, the protective housing 30 is used to mount and secure the thermal imager 70. The protective housing 30 includes a protective shell 31, an end cap 32, and end cap locking pins 33. The protective shell 31 forms a cavity for mounting the thermal imager 70. The end cap 32 covers the open end of the protective shell 31 and is locked by the end cap locking pins 33. To remove or insert the thermal imager 70 from the protective shell 30, the end cap 32 can be removed from the open end of the protective shell 31 by removing the end cap locking pins 33. The thermal imager 70 can then be placed in or removed from the open end of the protective shell 31.

[0052] The front end of the protective housing 31 is provided with a second hinged lug 311. This second hinged lug 311 aligns with the first hinged lug 15 and is connected via a connecting pin 20. The connecting pin 20 forms a horizontal axis, allowing the clamping member 10 to rotate relative to the protective housing 30 about the horizontal axis, thereby adjusting the screen angle of the smart display device held by the clamping member 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the front end of the protective housing 31 forms an upwardly inclined surface, providing a wider range of adjustment for the clamping member 10.

[0053] The upper and lower ends of the protective shell 31 are respectively provided with an upper rail connection portion 312 and a lower rail connection portion 313. The right and left sides of the protective shell 31 are respectively provided with an adapter window 314 and a side rail connection portion 315. Taking the upper rail connection portion 312 and the side rail connection portion 315 as examples, both of which adopt a rail fishbone structure, and the lower rail connection portion 313 adopts a rail slot structure, the upper rail connection portion 312 can be connected to an external device with a rail slot at the bottom, the lower rail connection portion 313 can be connected to an external device with a rail fishbone at the top, and the side rail connection portion 315 can be connected to an external device with a rail slot on the side. The adapter window 314 allows the connector of the adapter 35 to extend through it and plug into the interface of the thermal imager 70 in the cavity of the protective shell 31. The lengths of the upper rail connection portion 312, the lower rail connection portion 313, and the side rail connection portion 315 are arranged in the front-to-back direction.

[0054] The end cap 32 is provided with a lens hole 321 and a locking pin hole 322. The lens hole 321 corresponds to the lens portion of the thermal imager 70, and the lens of the thermal imager 70 can be inserted into the lens hole 321. The locking pin hole 322 is provided along the corner of the end cap 32 to allow the end cap locking pin 33 to pass through and engage with the protective housing 31.

[0055] To protect the adapter 35, the protective shell 30 is further provided with an adapter protective cover 34 outside the adapter window 314.

The adapter protective cover 34 defines an adapter slot 341, which has the same shape as the portion of the adapter 35 protruding from the protective shell 31, thereby protecting the adapter 35.

[0056] The lower leather rail connecting part 313 includes a first side rail 3131, a second side rail 3132 and a second side clamping strip 3133. The first side rail 3131 and the second side rail 3132 are formed on the lower end surface of the protective shell 31. The second side clamping strip 3133 can be detachably engaged with the second side rail 3132, thereby forming a leather rail clamping groove shape between the first side rail 3131, the second side rail 3132 and the second side clamping strip 3133, which can cooperate with the leather rail fishbone.

[0057] A baffle 36 (see FIG. 15 ) may be further provided in the protective housing 31 . The baffle 36 abuts against the thermal imager 70 . The baffle 36 and the end cover 32 fix the thermal imager 70 from two opposite directions.

[0058] The protective shell 30 can be installed on external equipment such as a handle, a gun, or a bow through the matching structure of the leather rail fishbone and the leather rail slot.

[0059] In the above-mentioned thermal imager connection device 100, the upper end and at least one side of the protective shell 30 are provided with an upper rail connection portion 312 and / or a side rail connection portion 315. The upper rail connection portion 312 and the side rail connection portion 315 are rail fishbones, which allow external devices with a rail slot structure (such as lasers, flashlights, laser rangefinders, etc.) to be quickly and securely connected to the protective shell 30; the lower rail connection portion 313 allows the protective shell 30 to be installed on external devices with a rail slot structure (such as handles, guns, bows, etc.). The upper rail connection portion 312 and / or the side rail connection portion 315 of the protective shell 31 can also be rail slots, and other external devices such as lasers can be correspondingly provided with rail fishbones to cooperate with them. Similarly, the lower rail connection portion 313 can also be rail fishbones, and external devices such as handles can be correspondingly provided with rail slots to cooperate with them.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 7 and 8. The thermal imager connection device 100 of the second embodiment of the present application includes a clamping member 10, a protective shell 30 and a power supply handle 50. The protective shell 30 is hinged to the clamping member 10 by a connecting pin 20, so that the clamping member 10 can be rotated relative to the protective shell 30 to adjust the angle of the smart display device clamped on the clamping member 10, thereby obtaining an angle suitable for the user to view the screen of the smart display device. The power supply handle 50 is detachably connected to the protective shell 30 through the leather rail fishbone and the leather rail slot, and is fixed by the leather rail fixing pin 40. The power supply handle 50 is used to provide a gripping portion for the clamping member 10 and the protective shell 30, and can power the smart display device clamped on the clamping member 10, the thermal imager 70 in the protective shell 30, and other external devices connected to the protective shell 30. The structure of the clamping member 10 and the protective shell 30 is described in detail in the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12. The power supply handle 50 is detachably connected to the bottom of the protective shell 30. It includes a handle shell 51, a leather rail connecting plate 52, a battery 53 and a control circuit board 54. The battery 53 and the control circuit board 54 are arranged in the cavity formed by the handle shell 51 and the leather rail connecting plate 52.

[0062] The handle housing 51 is a cylindrical structure that is easy to hold, and a leather rail connecting plate 52 is provided at the upper end thereof. The leather rail connecting plate 52 can be matched with the protective shell 30 through the leather rail fishbone and the leather rail slot.

[0063] The handle housing 51 comprises a cylindrical body 511 and a bottom cover 512 that can be turned relative to the cylindrical body 511. The bottom cover 512 is opened to insert or replace the battery 53. The bottom of the bottom cover 512 is provided with a threaded hole 5121 and a lanyard hole 5122. The threaded hole 5121 can be a 1 / 4-inch British threaded hole, allowing installation on standard 1 / 4-inch bolts, such as tripods. The lanyard hole 5122 can be threaded with a lanyard, allowing the power supply handle 50 to be conveniently hung around the wrist or neck.

[0064] The leather rail connecting plate 52 is covered on the upper end of the handle shell 51 and is used to connect to the lower leather rail connecting part 313 of the protective shell 30. The leather rail connecting plate 52 includes a cover plate 521 and a connecting leather rail part 522 arranged on the upper end surface of the cover plate 521. The length of the connecting leather rail part 522 is set along the front-to-back direction. The cover plate 521 is covered on the upper end of the handle shell 51 and fastened, and the connecting leather rail part 522 cooperates with the lower leather rail connecting part 313 to install the power supply handle 50 to the bottom of the protective shell 30. The connecting leather rail part 522 serves as a connecting piece with the protective shell 30, and is assembled through the second side clip 3133 and the leather rail fixing pin 40, so that the protective shell 30 and the power supply handle 50 are tightly connected up and down.

[0065] To ensure a stable and reliable electrical connection for the battery 53, a spring 55 is mounted on the bottom cover 512 at a position corresponding to the bottom of the battery 53. The spring 55 elastically abuts one end of the battery 53. The spring 55 is elastic and conductive, securing the battery 53 and conducting electrical energy. The battery 53 can be a rechargeable lithium battery and is electrically connected to the control circuit board 54 for charging and discharging.

[0066] The control circuit board 54 is electrically connected to the battery 53 to obtain electrical energy from the battery 53 and implement circuit control.

[0067] The power supply handle 50 is also connected to a first data line 56 and a second data line 57 . The first data line 56 and the second data line 57 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the handle housing 51 and correspond to corresponding interfaces on the control circuit board 54 .

[0068] In the illustrated embodiment, the first data cable 56 is a three-ended data cable. One end of the first data cable 56 connects to the control circuit board 54 via, for example, a Type-C connector, thereby drawing power from the battery 53. Another end transmits power to the smart display device held by the holder 10, and the other end transmits power to the thermal imager 70 secured within the protective housing 30. The first data cable 56 also establishes a data connection between the smart display device and the thermal imager 70.

[0069] In the illustrated embodiment, the second data cable 57 is a double-ended data cable. One end of the second data cable 57 is connected to the control circuit board 54 via, for example, a Type-C interface, thereby obtaining power from the battery 53. The other end of the second data cable 57 can be connected to an external device with a Type-C interface, such as a flashlight or laser rangefinder, or connected to a power source to charge the battery 53.

[0070] The handle housing 51 is further provided with a first switch button 513 and a second switch button 514. These buttons are located on opposite sides and correspond to corresponding pressing portions of the control circuit board 54, respectively, to implement different control operations. For example, a single click of the first switch button 513 activates or deactivates power to the second data line 57. A single click of the second switch button 514 activates or deactivates the laser module 58. A long press activates power to the first data line 56, and a further long press deactivates power to the first data line 56.

[0071] The power supply handle 50 also includes a built-in laser module 58, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board 54. When powered, the laser module 58 emits a laser beam to indicate a target location. The laser module 58 receives power from the battery 53 via the control circuit board 54 and is turned on and off by a second switch 514.

[0072] In the thermal imager connection device 100, if used with a power supply handle 50, the lower rail connection portion 313 of the protective housing 30 can also be a rail herringbone, and the rail connection portion on the rail connection plate 52 of the power supply handle 50 can be configured as a rail slot. If used with a gun or bow, the lower rail connection portion 313 of the protective housing 30 is still configured as a rail slot. This is because guns and bows generally have a rail herringbone that can mate with the lower rail connection portion 313. If the bow does not have a rail herringbone, a connector with a rail herringbone can be installed on the bow and then mate with the lower rail connection portion 313.

[0073] Referring to Figures 13 and 14 , a thermal imager connection device 100 according to a third embodiment of the present application includes a clamp 10, a protective housing 30, a power supply handle 50, and a laser 90. The protective housing 30 is hingedly connected to the clamp 10 via a connecting pin 20, allowing the clamp 10 to rotate relative to the housing 30 to adjust the angle of the smart display device clamped thereon, thereby achieving a suitable viewing angle for the user. The power supply handle 50 is detachably connected to the protective housing 30 via a pico-rail fishbone and a pico-rail slot, and is secured by a pico-rail fixing pin 40. The power supply handle 50 provides a grip for the clamp 10 and protective housing 30 and can power the smart display device clamped thereon, the thermal imager 70 in the protective housing 30, and other external devices connected to the protective housing 30. The laser 90, a device that emits laser light to indicate target positions and measure distances, is detachably connected to the protective housing 30 via a pico-rail fishbone and a pico-rail slot.

[0074] The structures of the clamping member 10 , the protective shell 30 and the power supply handle 50 are described in detail in the first embodiment and the second embodiment and will not be repeated here.
